YORK, Maine — A couple allegedly having sex on the Super Spiral ride at York's Wild Animal Kingdom "horrified" a mother with young children who witnessed the act at "Maine's largest zoo and amusement park," say police.

As a result, Adrian Levy, 26 — a native of Jamaica and amusement park employee — is charged with one count of indecent conduct, said York Police Sgt. Tom Baran.

Wild Kingdom general manager Amy Wheeler said Levy, a ride operator, was simply "dirty dancing with a girl" and was not charged by police on amusement park grounds. He was, however, fired immediately and sent home, she said.

Police were called to the Route 1 amusement park Friday evening and, after interviewing witnesses, charged Levy, who is in the country on a work visa, with the Class E misdemeanor. Baran said the park was open for business when the alleged crime occurred, and officers charged only Levy because "he's an employee; she's not."

Both are adults, and the act was consensual, said Baran.

"The complainant had young children who observed the incident," said the police sergeant. "It is a serious incident; it's very inappropriate and it's against the law."
